Trade Stefano for Spencer Leniu! Who’s with me?

 

[Kaito]

He’d certainly learn the art of side stepping trying to jog down Burwood Road! 😂

Every tiger that's lost their license has made
the walk of shame down burwood road..
Nofa use to do the train & walk b4 the Ferrari.
Suli didn't have his license and use to train it too

Get him with the guru sprint trainer. Bula puts on an extra metre or so in the 100, then he’s a real handful! Speed is invaluable.

Get them all with a sprint trainer, speed is king and we got none. Imagine Toa or even Twal with an extra yard of pace. Not everyone is going to improve their top speed massively but everyone can and should be improving their 20m sprints. Footy is made up of short sprints, to cover a tackle, or break a line, get to a loose ball first. I remember qld flogging us one year, (to many to remember what year but maybe when Fatty coached em) and they were all over us and the ball. Afterwards they were talking about how they trained short sprint comps to get the ball first and how it improved speed and fight for the ball attitude. If you can make such a difference in the time of a three game comp then a whole offseason should get these guys sorted.

Tigers (Benji) could do a lot worse than getting G.I. to help Bula develop.

Hodgson is generally the message board go-to, but I wonder if Bula is better served learning from a more 'modern day' type player.

Well he’s just bought a house directly opposite the Leagues club over the river at Leonay so there is not just money involved.
I’m sure he and his wife have lots of friends in the Penrith region.
A lot of driving to and from Concord.
I’ll take a punt and say he won’t leave the Panthers.

Rent it out and buy another one in leichhardt.. 1.4m x 5 should get a nice granny flat

some outside coaching in all positions would help,thought thats bn going on across the comp for at least a decade never our name mentioned,yet where flushed with funds?

Yep let’s trade our starting prop for a bench impact player and put pole out of a job

What’s with all the stefano hats on here? He is still young and is gonna get better the longer he plays was one of our best in 2021 had injurys in 22 and although he started slow by the end of 23 I thought he was one of our best

yep. give the kid a break ,seems you wrote him off quick smart

 

[Telltails]

Very few fullbacks look good behind beaten squads if any thing they get exposed more than any other player.. Bula has rolled the dice with his career by committing to the club as much as the club has in backing him. He has ability, but we need more than him to improve as a team, and to reach his potential he will need some others to improve with him.

 

[Kaito]

Haha he was talking about Esan Marsters

 

[Lestronge]

I don't get it either.

He hasn't performed anywhere near where we need him to be. Nowhere close. He is also paid good dollars. Klemmer was better than him last season and Klemmer wasn't much above average.

The issue is Klemmer and Stef need to lead our forwards but I honestly think Pole, Twal, Blore and Seyfarth had as much if not more impact than those two.

FWIW I have a mate who is 'very' close to Penrith and has been for decades...

I spoke to him yesterday and he said they expect to lose Luai in 2025. He said they won't go above 850, which is what they believe his value is.

He said St George are hanging around and have indicated they will throw a Moses like offer at him...way more money 'and' longer. He has young kids and may take it to set them up.

I asked about us...he said Tigers are not involved at all. It will be Saints if he goes.

FWIW.

Ch9 reporting Panthers offer is $1.7m

 

[Tucker]

Ch9 reporting Panthers offer is $1.7m

Not per year

 

[The Chad]

Ch9 reporting Panthers offer is $1.7m

Over 2 years. $850 per year. So Ellery is bang on.

Dragons make PERFECT sense after Amone news.
